TIMING CHAIN BLEW WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHICH IS CURRENTLY A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ISSUED BY NISSAN. IT ALSO BLEW THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHILE THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE SIMPLY BECAUSE IT FALLS UNDER THE WARRANTY (NOT BECAUSE THEIR FAULTY PART BLEW THE ENGINE) THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR MY RENTAL OR GIVE ME A LOANER. THEY ALSO ARE NOT GIVING ME AN END DATE. SO THEIR ISSUE IS COSTING ME $60 A DAY. I'M ALREADY UP TO $600 IN RENTAL CHARGES WITH NO END DATE IN SIGHT. NISSAN ALSO HASN'T FOLLOWED UP WITH ME TO TELL ME WHEN THE ISSUE WILL BE RECTIFIED. IT IS UNDRIVEABLE AND SITTING AT BERTERA NISSAN IN AUBURN, MA. HELP! *TR

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN JUKE ( PURCHASED BRAND NEW) WHEN DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR STARTED TO IDLE WEIRD AND THEN JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANK GOD I WASN'T HIT BY ANYONE OR IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. TOWED IT A TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THERE TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN BELT BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING STATING THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND THAT THEY WERE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, SO THERE WOULD BE NO COST TO ME. AFTER A WEEK OF MY CAR BEING AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY CALLED AND SAID THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND GOOD TO GO! I PICKED THE CAR UP AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME BUT NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT! JUKE DID THE SAME EXACT THING IT DID WHEN I ORIGINALLY HAD IT TOWED IN! THE JUKE WENT BACK INTO THE SHOP THAT NIGHT. NEXT MORNING THE SERVICE MANAGER FROM NISSAN CALLS TO TELL ME THAT DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE METAL SHAVING HAVE NOW GOTTEN INTO MY ENGINE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE POINT THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED! SINCE IT WAS DUE TO THE RECALL, IT WILL BE OF NO COST TO ME...HOWEVER NISSAN CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE NEW ENGINE WON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES?!!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THIS JUKE! FIRST MONTH I HAD IT THE ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE REPLACED! I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AFTER IT FAILED.....PLUS NUMEROUS BATTERY ISSUES, AND THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD! AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN RIGHT NOW AS THEY WERE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? OR LEGAL? COME ON, NISSAN! GET IT TOGETHER. SAFETY SHOULD BE YOUR #1 PRIORITY....BUT APPARENTLY CONCEALING POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING RECALLS IS MORE IMPORTANT. TO SAY THE LEAST, I WILL NEVER, EVER, BUY ANOTHER NISSAN, AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU OR ANYONE YOU CARE ABOUT. *TR

MY CAR DEVELOPED A TICKING SOUND, UPON RESEARCH AND HAVING A MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT, THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACE, BEING THAT THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ONLY 3 YEARS, IT SHOULD NOT ALREADY DEVELOPED SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE. IF THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPS THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF MOST LIKELY REQUIRE A ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN HIGHWAYS AND ROADS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

SLOWED DOWN TO TURN AND WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, CAUSING DAMAGE TO BACK OF MY CAR, HOWEVER THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ANYTIME DURING OR AFTER THE ACCIDENT. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS DURING THE TIME I'VE OWNED THE CAR: HESITATION WHEN GOING FROM LOWER SPEED TO HIGHER SPEED NOT ACCELERATING TO HIGHER SPEED, MY COMPLAINT OF ENGINE NOISE DOCUMENTED IN THE DEALER SERVICE INVOICE ON DEC.1, 2011; 3 ROUGH, JERKY , UNEVEN RIDE, OIL LEAKS. FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR RE- TORQUED AND GASKETS REPLACED IN MAY 2012 AND NOTATION MADE IN COMMENT SECTION: ' PERFORMED SYSTEM CHECK AS STATED IN BULLETIN', BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN ABOUT AN OFFICIAL RE-CALL ON PARTS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMPLAINT TO DEALER SERVICE DEPT. ON SEPT.27, 2012 AND NOTATION MADE IN NOTES ' P0303 STORED IN ECU' AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMPLAINT OCT. 31,2012 AND STATED CAUSE BY SERVICE DEPT.

MY 2011 NISSAN JUKE HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I START TO HEAR THIS RATTLE NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE. I MAKE AN APPT TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS NOISE AND FOR MY STATE INSPECTION TO BE DONE. WELL, A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY APPT MY JUKE COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING AROUND 40-45MPH ON A BUSY TWO LANE ROAD. I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BUT LUCKILY THEY STOPPED JUST IN TIME. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AT ALL. IT JUST STOPPED! I GET IT TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AND FIND OUT I NEED A BRAND NEW ENGINE ($9,050) BECAUSE MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND RIPPED MY ENGINE APART. I GO ONLINE AND FIND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM RIGHT NOW FOR TIMING CHAIN ISSUES, BUT THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL. EVEN MORE RESEARCH IS DONE AND I'M BEYOND MAD AT THIS POINT. NOW NISSAN TELLS ME THAT THEY WON'T COVER IT WITH MY 5YR/60,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE I CAN'T PRODUCE 8-9 SERVICE RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES AND "SLUDGE" IS WHAT BROKE MY ENGINE AT 28,000. JUST DOING SOME MATH, FOR ME TO EVEN HAVE 8-9 SERVICE RECORDS MEANS I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO CHANGE MY OIL (AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID) ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS!!!! SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A 2011 PIECE OF JUNK AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY OVER $9,000 EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND IT WAS THE FAULTY TIMING CHAIN THAT BROKE AND RIPPED APART MY ENGINE. BUT BECAUSE I CAN'T PROVIDE 8-9 SERVICE RECORDS (WHICH IS CRAZY) THEY GET OFF SCOTT-FREE! I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF COMPLETELY AND SOLD A LEMON. THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!! I WILL BE JOINING THAT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN JUKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, SHE RAN OVER SOME DEBRIS IN THE ROAD AND SPLIT HER RIM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT DEBRIS WOULD NOT DO THAT TYPE OF DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

MY JUKE BEGAN TO HAVE A TICKING/CLICKING SOUND IN THE MOTOR WHICH SOUNDED WORSE WITH ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY FIRST TOLD ME IT WAS THE EXHAUST, THEN LATER TOLD ME IT IS TIMING CHAIN AND DAMAGE TO MOTOR DONE WHICH WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT MOTOR BUT APPROVAL FROM A DISTRICT MANAGER WAS NEEDED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING ON THE WARRANTY WORK. ALTHOUGH STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND ABLE TO SHOW RECEIPTS FOR SERVICE DATES, THEY TOLD ME THEY MAY VOID MY WARRANTY FOR NOT HAVING A NISSAN BRAND OIL FILTER ON THE JUKE. I CALLED TO CHECK ION MY ENGINE REPLACEMENT THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS AND THAT THE TENSIONER BROKE OFF AND THE TIMING CHAIN WAS RUBBING THE MOTOR BUT THEY WILL REPLACE WORN PARTS INSTEAD OF ENTIRE MOTOR AND THAT THE RUBBING ON THE MOTOR WOULD NOT ALTER THE FUNCTIONING OF THE MOTOR. ONE WEEK LATER, STILL WAITING ON MY CAR AND PAYING FOR A DAILY RENTAL. THIS IS MY 8TH NISSAN OWNED. AND THE SECOND TO HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS (2006 ALTIMA WITH BLOWN ENGINE AT 147,000 MILES). PURCHASED JUKE OCTOBER 2010 AND IT IS DRIVEN ONLY BY MYSELF AND AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 65MPH MOST DAYS. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THESE TIMING CHAINS AND COMPONENTS WHICH HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER. STILL OWE 11,000 ON MY JUKE AND AM WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY FOR MY TRAVELS IN IT. *TT
